Welcome to the Los Alamos County Ice Rink
Built in 1936, the ice rink is the only refrigerated, NHL regulation, outdoor ice rink in New Mexico. Tucked against the canyon with a backdrop of pine trees, the ice rink offers public skating, hockey, and skating lessons from November through February. Whether it is stunning winter skies dotted with fluffy white clouds, or night skies filled with twinkling stars the ice rink is where you and your family can enjoy an unforgettable skating experience. Because we are an outdoor rink adverse weather may force the rink to close with short notice.

Ice Rink Events

Skate with Santa
Santa always takes time during his busy holiday schedule to visit the Ice Rink. He is bringing his elves to greet boys and girls and hand out candy canes. Santa and his elves will pose for pictures on and off the ice.

Adult BroomballBroomball is a game that incorporates some hockey and soccer strategies. The game is played on the ice with two teams consisting of six players on each side (a goalie and 5 other players). Players use a broom to move the ball up and down the ice and instead of skates, players wear tennis shoes so no skating experience required.
Helmets and pads are recommended but not required. First 30 minutes are skills and drills for new players.

Thursday, January 4 - 5:15pm - 8:00pm
Friday, February 16 - 6:30pm - 9:00pm
$5.00 per person - Ages 16 & up
Each person will need to bring their own broom in order to play. No passes accepted.

Big M.A.C. Teen Skate NightA coordinated event with the Youth Activity Center to provide music and refreshments for middle school students, in a fun, safe, supervised environment.
